Is Good Expensive?
What can still be regarded as effective? Can expensive mean immoral? How can quality and low budget coexist? How we measure and market impact of our actions and how we use it in our fundraising?
Dear Fundraising Friends,
The effectiveness of fundraising, its evaluation, the way effectiveness of NGO actionis assessed and measured as well as the way it is presented to donors and promoted in public represents a major challenge to worldwide fundraising efforts. Research shows that the donor trust is the key to fundraising success. We believe it’s time to challenge these questions!
And so, we are pleased and proud to invite you to the 3rd annual International Fundraising Festival (IFF) to take place from April 13th to 15th, 2011 in Prague.
The Czech Fundraising Center (CZ), The Resource Alliance (UK), partner organizations from Poland, Slovakia and Moldova have designed just for you another three great festival days packed with inspiration and sharing around issues related to FUNDRAISING! Also, for the first time this year, we invite CSR experts from corporations to join the festival. Thus, at each time slot one of the parallel workshops will address the above issues from the specific point of view of corporate social responsibility development and action.
Join interactive workshops of recognized experts, discuss with professional colleagues, enjoy simulations and games, learn by doing, the open space, take part in the Robin Hood prize award for the best idea in fundraising, enjoy the special Thursday gala night event program and meet fundraisers from the CEE region and elsewhere in the world!
IFF is not a traditional conference. It aims to provide an open platform, offering all participants as great opportunity as possible to share experiences and information using a wide array of interactive methods and features. For this reason, the number of participants of the IFF is limited to 100. Thanks to support from our partners from the International Visegrad Fund and from other donors the IFF fee is only € 349 (+ accommodations). We provide an early bird discount to € 299 for those who apply before March 1st and also another discount to € 249 for all EFA members.
To participate in the festival, please fill out the on-line application form. For further information about the festival, about speakers, the agenda, about organizers or any other information you might need, please check www.fundraising.cz/iff, look at the Power Point presentation or contact directly Jana Liskova at iff@fundraising.cz.
Spring is great in Prague and April is the very best! We are looking forward to seeing you here.
